Description

Stand with feet wide and parallel, hinge forward from the hips, and place hands on blocks or floor while letting the head hang in line with the neck.

Easier option

Use blocks or a chair and keep the torso higher; soften knees.

Breathing cue

Keep breathing normally; rise slowly and avoid forcing a deeper fold.
